Lost Found in the Details

Jessica Hische is a lettering artist specializing in work for logos, film and television, and books for clients like Fender Guitars, Wes Anderson, and Penguin Random House. One specialty she's particularly fond of is logo refresh work—helping modernize existing brands while maintaining much of the original DNA.
Jessica will walk through her process for this highly specialized work, and talk about why sometimes fretting over invisible details can really matter and how this kind of work can not only be rewarding for clients in quantifiable ways but also deeply rewarding for the creatives who perform it. In a culture in which we are asked to constantly streamline and automate, there is still room for slow and considered craftsmanship.
